23/12/2012 "Six Tulips and half" from The 365 ACEOs project / Projet : 365 jours avec un ACEO

Hi!

I love tulips, they are between my favourite flowers (with poppies and sunflowers).
They're strong, fierce and plenty of colors, and even someone like myself not so much into gardening is able to grown them and enjoy them ;-)
They also remind me about Denmark where I spent 4 years (two of my children are born there) because there were lots of them in the botanic garden (to visit in Copenhagen!) and they're not afraid of cold wheather.
So my today's aceo is on them. I already paint some big tulips as well and I can feel that neither these won't be the last one. One of the tulips has been cut of from the wind ;-)

Hello!
J'aime les tulipes, ils sont parmi mes fleurs préférés (avec les coquelicot et les tournesols)
Ils sont résistent, costauds, fiers et avec beaucoup de couleurs et même quelqu'un comme moi qui n'as pas exactement le pouce vert  peut le faire pousser et les admirer ;-)
Ils me rappellent aussi du Danemark eu j'ai vécue pendant 4 ans (deux de mes enfants sont nés là bas) car il n'y avais beaucoup dans le jardins botanique (à visiter à Copenhague) et ils sont des fleurs qui n'ont pas trop peur du froid.
Voilà pourquoi mon aceo d'aujourd'hui c'est sur les tulipes. je n'ai déjà peint des grands des tulipes et je pense que ces "petits" ne vont pas être les derniers non plus.
Vous remarquerez que un des tulipes a était coupé....par le vent ;-)

Six tulips and half - ACEO - 23/12/2012

#Twitterartexhibit LA 2013 a great project

My postcards paintings "#Loving family of four" and "#Nighttime breastfeeding" are arrived safely in Los Angeles for the third #Twitter Art Exhibition 2013 and I honestly couldn't be more happier, I hate when my artworks travel even if I do my best for them to get safe to wherever destination, still....

Loving Family of four - 2012

Nighttime breastfeeding - 2012

This exhibition is the result of some wonderful idea and lots of work from artist David Sandum (@DavidSandumArt), from Moss in Norway and others artist (and not just) that joined him in this project.
In the Organizing Board and on #twitter you'll find also Robin Maria Pedrero (@robinpedrero) , Christian Karlsson (@svorsk), Ryan Seslow (@ryanseslow) and Nat George (@natgeorgela)

The exhibition's goal: help charities and not for profit organizations around the world.
2013 will be the third edition and I must say I'm really proud to be part of it!
I truly admire the idea of course but also the huge amount of work that this rapresents.
I did years of volunteer in my past and I kind of know what does it means....congratulations guys!

Artists on twitter are sending postcard size paintings with diverse subjects and styles to the exhibition from all around the world.  
All these artworks will be on a wall at EU Gallery in Chinatown's Arts District in Los Angeles and sold for charity. 
The money raised will go to EU Art Division helping underserved youths 18-25.
For what I can see on the official web site there is a lot of high quality art for a hig quality project.
I wish I could be able to go there personally but maybe another year.
